Hi All, I am working on the analysis job for an excavation work? So far I have proceeded to the completion of excavation that has been temporarily supported by struts? I am about to activate the ground floor level slab and deactivate the struts…

I am very glad to write this post because last time I got a benchmark problem regarding embankment consolidation problem over PVD-treated soft soil " Comparison of Drainage Line Elements in PLAXIS 2D and 3D.....". After that, I successfully published…

Greeting to everyone, I performed excavation in Plaxis 3D using plate elements as retaining walls. When I check the plastic point at a certain volume element (in front of the plate element), the plastic point is also generated around the plate element…

Hello everyone, My name is Juan Esteban and I'm currently doing an internship in geotechnical engineering. As part of my internship, I'm learning to use Plaxis and, at the moment, I'm trying to model a structure composed by several raft foundations…

hello, good day. I have a wetmuck project in an underground mine. I want to analyze, model, and simulate underground mining works. such as blasting with real contours and the correct data is there to overcome the wetmuck which is very dangerous for…

Hi, I'm modelling excavation a shaft with piping process which will enter in the lower levels of shaft. In the Model water level is -1.5m & pipe level is -9m. I've modeled excavation completely but When it starts to calculate piping phases, it can't…

Hi All, Unfortunately I couldn't find any good reference for dewatering in excavation in 3D problems. Could you possibly tell me minimum layer thickness for Interpolate condition? Thank you so much.

Hello, I’m modeling a staged excavation supported by anchored d-walls. The soil is composed by 2 layers: overburden and rock, both modeled with Mohr-Coulomb. The anchor designed was done separately and based on a hypothetical rock wedge (dip angle = 65degrees…

Dear All, I am a newbie of Plaxis. I would like to ask about water condition "Global", "Dry", "Head" & "Interpolate" in 3D When the model with multi-layer excavation 1 by 1, I would like to ask whether my logic in Plaxis correct or not: Stage…

Dear All, What is the assumption for Waling & Sheet Pile Wall (retaining structure wall) 's relationship in Plaxis 3D? Are they assumed totally rigid and fixed together? Regards, William
